This report informs Members that the contract
for the Black Lion Leisure Centre, and the Strand Leisure Park
expires on 31 March 2004, and proposes a way forward.
The Cabinet agreed that the management of the
Black Lion Leisure Centre and the Strand Leisure Park is brought
under interim internal management whilst undertaking an options
appraisal and market testing.
The Cabinet agreed that the outcome including options and
recommendations be presented for Members to consider in a future
report.
Due to the number of previous extensions there
is a risk to the Council of a challenge should the contract be
extended again without competition. It is also not best practice to
grant continued contract extensions without market
testing.
